If it weren't for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all

What does it mean? I searched it on google and found no definition other than people said it's from a tv show or something.

Thank you very much.

Hi, The idea is this. The only kind of luck I have is bad luck. It's meant to be a humorous remark.

Dear Unsigned

It is from "Born under a Bad Sign". The first recording is attributed to Albert King - Stax Records - 1967

The irony lies in the fact that when we say things like, "Please! I need some luck!" or "I always do it for luck," we mean "good luck."

Okay, I'll give you some luck - badluck! Ha ha ha!
